JAMES BOND 25’s script has had a rewrite by Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace screenwriter Paul Haggis.

The latest James Bond film hasn’t been short of a few production problems. Originally Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who have written every 007 movie since 1999’s The World Is Not Enough, penned a Bond 25 script. But when producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson went with Danny Boyle as director, they also took on his Trainspotting scribe John Hodge. However, the pair left Bond 25 over creative differences, with Cary Fukunaga being hired to direct instead.

Whatever the case it’s unclear at this stage which script is being used for Bond 25, although our bet would be the latter rather than a rewrite of Hodge’s story.

And now Geeks World Wide’s source has claimed that Casino Royale screenwriter Paul Haggis has contributed to the Bond 25 script.

While Purvis and Wade wrote Craig’s first Bond outing, Haggis’ main contribution was to rewrite the third act which included Vesper’s death. He also polished their Quantum of Solace script but turned down directing the film.

The source claims his draft of Bond 25 is labelled “intermittent” and was likely written before Fukunaga was appointed the new director.
